Securitize has launched Securitize Stocks, a product that gives eligible investors onchain security entitlements backed one for one by U.S. shares. Solana is the initial trading network, with transactions settling in USDC, according to the original report and Securitize’s announcement. The offering includes exposure to companies such as Apple, Nvidia, Tesla and Microsoft.
- Each token is backed by one underlying share, but represents a security entitlement rather than direct registered ownership.
- Applicable benefits include dividends and voting rights only where the underlying share class carries them.
- Trading starts through Securitize’s broker-dealer platform during extended hours, with USDC settlement on Solana.
- Direct share conversion and proposed 24/7 venues depend on future issuer support, venue launches and applicable requirements.
What the token holder receives
Securitize describes the product as a convertible entitlement token. Each token is backed one for one by an underlying share and represents a security entitlement under UCC Article 8. That structure can preserve applicable economic benefits such as dividends and, where the share class includes them, voting rights. It does not automatically place the investor on the issuer’s share register as a direct shareholder.
Securitize says direct registration could become available when a company adopts issuer-sponsored tokenization and the necessary transfer-agent arrangements support conversion. Until then, the distinction between a security entitlement and direct share ownership matters. The company also says the shares backing these tokens will not be lent out.
How trading begins
Eligible investors in the United States, European Union and other permitted jurisdictions can access the product subject to identity checks, anti-money-laundering rules, securities laws and other restrictions. Securitize says the tokens will initially trade through its registered broker-dealer infrastructure, with settlement in USDC on Solana. Jump Trading is named as a market maker for the initial Solana-based liquidity arrangement.
Initial trading is during extended hours. Securitize also expects eventual availability on proposed or developing 24/7 venues linked to NYSE and OKXICE, but those plans depend on venue launches, regulatory conditions and operational requirements. The announcement does not establish that round-the-clock trading is available today.
Why the Solana connection matters
Solana is the launch network for this particular product. The announcement identifies the blockchain, settlement currency and market-making arrangement; it does not provide measured evidence that this launch has already increased Solana adoption, network activity or trading volume. Those outcomes would need separate data after trading begins. For related reporting, see our institutional Solana coverage.
Correction, October 9, 2026: An earlier version overstated the token holder’s direct ownership and presented future trading arrangements too broadly. This version distinguishes security entitlements from direct shares and labels the planned venues as conditional.
